5 Bike Repair Stations Installed Throughout Batavia

BATAVIA, IL — If your bike is in disrepair, the City of Batavia has you covered with five free repair stations set up throughout town, officials announced.

The project was funded by the City of Batavia, Batavia Park District and Batavia Public School District 101 as a way to give bicyclists convenient spots to replace issues before continuing to ride.

Here is where to find the repair stations:

• The Fox River Trail near Hall Quarry
• Laurelwood Park at Logan Street
• The Fox River Trail near Fabyan Parkway
• Rotolo Middle School
• Batavia Apartments on Wilson Street

The Kane County Forest Preserve helped install the stations, which provide the tools needed to fix flat tires, adjust seats or reattach pedals.

"We are thrilled that the five new repair stands have arrived in time for riding season. We are grateful to the city, park district, and forest preserve for their collaboration on this project," Steve Ericksen, a member of the City of Batavia Bicycle Commission, said in a statement.
